Agreed. Quite a few Wycombe in the Paxton Upper around me too.Ah ok, he must have a twin who got in the Paxton yesterday!
A bit of a different crowd in my patch by I'd say about 70% of the regulars were there.

Honestly, all the Spurs fans moaning about our shirt pulling, rugby-like, rough style are going over the top IMO. It certainly wasn't evident any more than all of our other games this season. I don't know if that's because I've been habituated to it, but I didn't notice anything remotely like that yesterday. You should have seen our match against Notts County before Christmas. That was 10x worse than this.
Once Wycombe began to run out of steam it was obvious that they were slowing things down any way they could. Great cup tie though, nobody should be moaning really, just enjoy it for what it was.Honestly, all the Spurs fans moaning about our shirt pulling, rugby-like, rough style are going over the top IMO.

Pulling, shoving, tackling... it's not against the laws of the game when there aren't players getting injured or starting fights.
Yes it is. That's what yellow cards mean

Playing fairly... Wycombe have been a great challenge for us, they played attacking football and I felt for them, even though we won the game.
Football is as uneven as it can be nowadays. Yes, they have been tugging and wrestling for the ball, because it was a FA Cup tie. They saw our line-up and went for it. Football in the lower leagues is much more physical, it's different to the one we know in the PL.

It's part of the game, you do it, you get a yellow card, that's what happened. It's not "cheating". That's what Jansen dropping to the floor is called
The downside for your club is that the refs are now going to be looking your rugby tactics more closely now!Honestly, all the Spurs fans moaning about our shirt pulling, rugby-like, rough style are going over the top IMO.

Oh well thats alright then, Im sure Trippier feels much better about getting kneed in the ribs now, and Winks surely is enlightened by a player rugby tackling him to the floor then deliberately falling knees first onto the back of his head.
FA Cup Magic, sigh
I didn't say "cheating", I said it was unsportsmanlike and I'm glad teams that do it, lose.
If you want "cheating", I'd say elbowing a player in the face in the box then claiming you didn't do anything wrong is cheating.
I don't want to see Wimmer again this season.... i'd rather get Fazio back.
